Abstract

The three-dimensional photoluminescence emissions between 380 and 800 nm of the dentritic agate with white body color from the Dereyalak-Inonu-Eskisehir (Turkey) region were obtained at the temperatures between 250 and 340 K under 366 nm excitation. The most advantage of three-dimensional photoluminescence graphic in a silica structure is to demonstrate clearly all vibronic structures through temperature increasing on the spectra. Hence, photoluminescence response from the gem-quality material was discussed in relation to chemical impurities of trivalent rare earth elements.
